WHAT ARE FLATWEAVE RUGS?

Made in a vast range of patterns and colours, flat-woven rugs have an old manufacturing history. Think Dhurries, Kilims or even Aubussons. These rugs have been around for centuries. Depending on the type of material used, they can add a touch of elegant luxury or a natural textured look into the home.

Easy to manufacture therefore more affordable than their knotted counterparts, these rugs are appropriately named flatweave in that they are manufactured without a pile. No knots are used in this ancient technique – the warp and the weft, the vertical and horizontal treads on the vertical loom, are woven together without the use of a backing material so these threads are both the foundation and the pattern of the rug. Flat-woven rugs are often reversible, thin, lightweight and can be easily folded or carried. They are quite often made of jute, hemp, wool and even PET, making them the ideal choice for outdoor areas also.
